    Can anyone tell me what this Cat would be categorized as?

    I have a catalytic converter from a 2004 Honda Accord 2.4L that I'm trying to sell. I've gotten quotes from 2 different online places so far that say different classifications. One place said it's a "large import" and the other place said it's a "generic round". The prices are within $25 of each other, with the "large import" being the higher one.



    Now here's the thing, by what it looks like, I feel that it should be classified as a "Honda - Straight O2" (thus making it worth 2x the price of their "large import")

    Can anyone help?
    Is anyone willing to buy this? (let me know if this isn't allowed and I'll remove it)

    XL Import. The O2 Special Accord has six ribs, is slightly shorter, and larger in diameter. The one you have is sometimes called the "rainbow" Honda because of the arched heat shield brackets.

    Don't feel bad, Honda converters can be VERY confusing. Many core buyers intentionally mis-grade them because they know they can usually get away with it.
